Re-Installing The Quick-Release - MSA FireHawk II Instrucciones Para El Uso Y Cuidado

REMOVING THE RESCUE BELT II FROM THE AIR MASK
DO NOT coil the rope. DO NOT feed large
amounts of rope into the lumbar pad at
once. Doing so may cause the rope to knot or
bind during escape. Misuse can result in death
or serious injury.
8. Fold the descender strap in half and rotate the descen-
der so that it points toward the opening in the lumbar
pad. The rope between the descender and the hook/
carabiner should lay over the top of the descender.
9. Insert the descender
and rope into the lower
loop of elastic webbing
inside the lumbar pad
until the elastic loop is
near the exposed end
of the descender.
10. Crosby or
Lightening Hooks:
Insert the eye of the
hook into the top loop
of elastic webbing in
the lumbar pad and
position the hook such
that it wraps around the
exposed portion of the
descender.
Lightening GT Hook
Position the hook so that it wraps around the exposed por-
tion of the descender.
NOTE: The Lightening GT Hook should not be clipped to
any of the sewn loops within the lumbar pad.
Carabiner
Place the carabiner in the lumbar pad above the descen-
der.
NOTE: The carabiner should not be clipped to any of the
sewn loops within the lumbar pad.
11. Position the tail of rope with the stopper knot along the
waist belt and between the 2 snaps.

WARNING
12. Fasten the snaps. The
Rescue Belt II uses
directional snaps to
prevent accidental dis-
engagement. To mate
the directional snaps,
locate the dot on the
snap. Engage the por-
tion of the snap on the
side opposite the dot
first and then push
down on the dot side.
13. The stopper knot in the
rope should be
exposed when the flap
on the lumbar pad is
closed.
